EmbedPlus for YouTube Pro

We've made the ability to directly search and insert videos, galleries, and live streams free to all users. However, Pro users can also visually add many individual customizations to these embeds without having to memorize current and future codes. We'll keep it updated as YouTube evolves and adds new options. Playlist and gallery wizard features also included.

Use embed caching to speed up your page loads. By default, WordPress needs to request information from YouTube.com's servers for every video you embed, every time a page is loaded. These data requests can add time to your total page load time. Turn on this feature to cache that data (instead of having to request for the same information every time you load a page). This should then make your pages that have videos load faster. It's been noted that even small speed ups in page load can help increase visitor engagement, retention, and conversions.

Add eye-catching special effects that will make your YouTube embeds bounce, flip, pulse, or slide as they load on the screen.

Set it and forget it: Instead of manually switching out your live stream embeds, simply embed your channel once and the embed will automatically show the next upcoming live stream. You can even have your own custom "coming soon" content leading up to the scheduled stream.

Add more interaction to your site by including the YouTube live chat box as part of each live stream embed. Note that live chat can also be an option for earning money from your audience by using the Super Chat and Super Sticker features. Learn more here.

Automatically grab the thumbnail image of the first video embedded in each post or page, and use it as the featured image. All you have to do is click Update on a post or page and the plugin does the rest!

Update your YouTube embeds with Google, Bing, and Yahoo friendly video SEO markup

More and more visitors are browsing the web using mobile devices. Some YouTube channels, however, block the viewing of their videos on these devices for different reasons (e.g. preferred desktop ad revenue and user experience). For each YouTube video you embed, you can see if it has restrictions that might limit your site's mobile visitors from viewing it.

This extends the global volume feature of the FREE version by including volume initialization in the Pro wizard. It will allow you to set a volume level that is specific to each video that you embed without worrying about underlying code.

Priority YouTube embedding support.

A straight-forward dashboard to answer questions like: How much are your visitors actually watching the videos you post? How does the view activity on your site compare to other sites like it? How much do the producers of videos you embed rely on your site for views? See details here» The dashboard includes other useful features, like deleted video alerts, and blocked country alerts.

This service warns you about videos that you've embedded in the past and have been deleted from YouTube.com. Since YouTube removes videos all the time, the goal is to prevent your visitors from seeing the annoying "This video does not exist." YouTube message on your site. The hope is that you can find a similar video to replace the removed one. You get alerts when visitors regularly visit pages with deleted videos. Finally, due to frequent requests we've now enabled the deleted video checking service in this plan so it can work with past YouTube videos you embedded even before using our plugin.

Visitors from different countries can be blocked from viewing videos that you embed. This could be due to different reasons, spanning copyright (region) restrictions to simply an uploader's choice, or politics. For example, we found 250 county blocks on a version of a recent pop star's music video. This feature can be helpful if you regularly embed videos on a site that has visitors from other countries than your own. For each video on your dashboard that has a restriction, you'll see a list of the affected countries. Now integrated with Google Maps!
